Getting Acquainted
Congratulations upon your selection of this CASIO watch. To get the most out of your
purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully.
Keep the watch exposed to bright light
The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is
stored by a rechargeable battery. Leaving or using the
watch where it is not exposed to light causes the battery
to run down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as
much as possible.
• When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,
position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright
light.
• You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve
as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if
the face is covered only partially.

Battery charges in the light. Battery discharges in the dark.
• The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the
watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will result in some watch
functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch
settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it
exposed to light as much as possible.
• The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.
• Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging.
The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a
single illumination operation.
Approximately 5 minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window
Approximately about 8 hours exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting
• Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know
when exposing the watch to bright light.
If the display of the watch is blank...
If the display of the watch is blank, it means that the watch’s Power Saving function
has turned off the display to conserve power.
• See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on, whenever you position
your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features a “Full Auto
EL Light”, so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain
level. It does not turn on the backlight under bright light.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards
you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
• Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.
Parallel to
ground More than 40°
Warning!
••••• Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the
display of the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when
running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury.
Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not
startle or distract others around you.
••••• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned
off before riding a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor
vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a
distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for about three seconds to toggle the auto
light switch on (auto light switch on indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch on
indicator not displayed).
• The auto light switch on indicator is on the display in all modes while the auto light
switch is turned on.
Power Supply
This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a rechargeable battery that is charged by
the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The illustration shown below shows
how you should position the watch for charging.
Example: Orient the watch so its face is
pointing at a light source.
• The illustration shows how to position a
watch with a resin band.
• Note that charging efficiency drops when
any part of the solar cell is blocked by
clothing, etc.
• You should try to keep the watch outside of
your sleeve as much as possible. Charging
is reduced significantly if the face is
covered only partially.
Solar cell
Important!
• Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in
such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause rechargeable battery
power to run down. Be sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever
possible.
• This watch uses a rechargeable battery to store power produced by the solar cell, so
regular battery replacement is not required. However, after very long use, the
rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. If you experience
problems getting the rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer or
CASIO distributor about having it replaced.
• Never try to remove or replace the watch’s rechargeable battery yourself. Use of the
wrong type of battery can damage the watch.
• All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other settings
return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 and
when you have the battery replaced.
• Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function and keep it in an area normally exposed
to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable
battery from going dead.

• The flashing LOW indicator at Level 3 tells you that battery power is very low, and
that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.
• At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory
defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the
current time, date, and other settings.
• The watch’s Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo)
whenever the battery drops to Level 5.
• Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2.
• Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source
can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher
than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few
minutes.
• Performing illumination, or beeper operations during a
short period may cause the recover indicator to appear
on the display.
After some time, battery power will recover and the
recover indicator will disappear, indicating that the above
functions are enabled again.
• If the recover indicator appears frequently, it probably
means that remaining battery power is low. Leave the
watch in bright light to allow it to charge.

Auto Return
• If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting
screen (with a flashing setting) is on the display, the watch will exit the setting screen
automatically.
Scrolling
• The B and D are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data
on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation
scrolls at high speed.
Initial Screens
• When you enter the World Time Mode or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing
when you last exited the mode appears first.
Timekeeping
• Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.
• The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is
calculated in accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for each city,
based on your Home City time setting.
World Time
• The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
Illumination Precautions
• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
• Illumination may be difficult to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
• Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
• Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions
• Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light
switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to
wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature.
• Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
• Illumination turns off after a preset amount of time (1.5
or 3 seconds), even if you keep the watch pointed
towards your face.
More than 15 degrees
too high
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto
light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting
position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again. If this does
not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it
back up again.
• Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
• You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
